Anyone have any pro-tips for removing the trim around the foglamps on the M-sport bumper?

I want to do a thing... but need to remove the trim first. I'd prefer not to screw anything up, so I thought I'd ask here first.

Thanks

I replaced mine with a dry CF trim and it'll probably be easier to remove the wheel to get better access. If not, just angle the wheels all the wheel to get as much clearance and you will need to partially remove the fender liner to get to the hardware to the remove. Not too difficult.

So I'm popping the trim out from behind and not prying it off? Interesting…

Can you post a photo if you pop them out? Not sure if this is what you're going for but I've always thought it would be sick to really open up the air vents by removing the useless fog light trim pieces. I have No idea what's behind the trim pieces or if it will look clean.... so appreciate any insights you can share.

I'm not having much luck... I scoured the shop manuals and they only show how to remove the fog lamp from behind. I can't find specifics involving the M-Sport Bumper or any of the trim pieces involving said bumper. I really don't want to go and potentially mangle the damn thing trying to pry that piece out.

I've gone thru all the repair instructions in TIS and I can only find non M
Sport bumper trim removal. Nothing for M Sport. Looking at my car and the parts diagram in ETK it looking like the wheel/tire and wheel liners will need to be removed to be able to remove the trim. Doesn't like like there is anything else that would be in the way.
